This has sparked mixed reactions as many people have asked the multiple award-winning singer who has 13.8m followers on Twitter alone to pull down the post.
One of those who have recently expressed displeasure over the post is legendary northern actor, Ali Nuhu. In a post via his verified Instagram account, the actor advised the singer to respect other people’s ‘religion, culture and tradition.”
Posting a picture of Davido with a red X sign, Nuhu tweeted, “I just came across the controversial video posted by @davido, as much we want to be creative in our various fields we should learn to respect other people’s religion, culture and tradition. This is totally unacceptable in Islam. You should pull down that video and apologize for hurting the entire Muslim ummah.”
